BUTEO SERIES CERAMIC TILE

Ceramic tile is a strong, adaptable material commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, and select outdoor living areas. Its natural resistance to stains, moisture, and heat makes it an excellent choice for floors, showers, and backsplashes. Thanks to its low maintenance and wide range of styles, ceramic tile brings both practicality and visual appeal to residential and commercial spaces.

Ceramic tiles are produced by shaping natural clay and firing it at high temperatures in a kiln. Before firing, a glaze is often applied to enhance durability and introduce color. This process results in a hard, water-resistant tile. After firing, tiles are finished and ready for installation.

Most ceramic tiles are glazed and do not require sealing. However, grout lines - especially those made from cement-based materials - should be sealed to protect against moisture and stains. For unglazed or textured ceramic tiles, sealing may be recommended in high-traffic or wet environments.

Maintaining ceramic tile is simple. Use a mild cleaner and warm water for regular cleaning, and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that could damage the glaze. If your installation includes cement grout, periodic resealing will help prevent staining and keep grout lines looking fresh. For more care tips, visit the TCNA website.
